Mobile Coupons

Unilever is testing new technology that allows discount coupons to be applied at supermarket checkout by scanning your cell phone. It was only a matter of time. In fact, we will be seeing more and more of this as time goes on. Mobile phones, and the iPhone and Blackberry's of the world in particular, are making it easier and easier to combine technologies into one mobile device. It can be argued that the iPhone is some proto-computer type device of the future. That is an argument that I happen to agree with. I already use my iPhone for web, email, directions, address book, facebook, weather, gaming, photos... heck I can even draw on the darn thing.
